2024 NFL DRAFT: ROMAN WILSON

By Brandon Lane

Michigan (SR), WR

A 4-star recruit, he had a slow start to his collegiate career mainly due to Michigan’s focus on the run game. But Wilson made an impact his senior year with 48 grabs for 789 yards and 12 touchdowns. While he is likely pegged as a speedy slot guy by many his precise route running, speed and separation abilities make him a threat all over the field. During the practice sessions at the Senior Bowl he consistently won downfield, separated with ease, and illustrated his burst and great hands. At the NFL Combine he ran a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash and crushed the positional drills. He makes my wide receiver Top 10 list in this years class. Look for him to be drafted in the second round.

Pluses:

• Speed
• Precise route runner with excellent burst
• Excellent hands
• Ball tracking
• Big play ability

Concerns:

• Size/Catch Radius/Tackle breaking ability
• Limited blocker
• Could struggle with physical defenders
